In 2015 we had a shooting where a teenage thug tried to get a police officers gun, and then charged that same police officer. The thug was shot, and obama took it upon himself to support the lie that the teenager had shouted "hands up, don't shoot." He had the racist organization, black lives matter to the White House, and he turned the corrupt, Department of Justice loose on the various police forces in our crime plagued, democrat controlled cities. And the result was a new phenomenon called... "The Ferguson Effect," where police officers stopped pro active police work, no longer cleared corners of street gangs, and only responded to 911 calls. The criminals, understanding the reluctance of police.....started carrying guns again, rather than keeping them in their baby momma's purses, and started shooting each other more and more often
That nightmare, created by obama and black lives matter, costing thouands of innocent Black Americans their lives...may now be over.
And through it all..... the law abiding gun owners didn't shoot people with their legal guns....
Chicago Murders: Crime Wave Is Not Nationwide, However | National Review
Whatever the case with Chicago, the national trends are encouraging. Look, for instance, at the ten biggest U.S. cities. We now have homicide figures for the first half of 2018 (via the FBI, police departments, and local media coverage) and can compare these with data from the same time period in the last eight years. We had crime spikes in 2012, 2016, and 2017. But 2018, at least so far, looks good. The ten-city total is down by 6 percent relative to last year. Not standing-ovation territory, but certainly the right direction.
Another indicator is the trend in the cities red-flagged by criminologist Richard Rosenfeld when crime first rose between 2014 and 2015. Rosenfeld found that these ten cities alone accounted for nearly two-thirds of the increase in homicides nationwide.
As you can see, in 2018 crime dropped in eight of ten of these red-flag cities, and cumulatively the decline was 14 percent.
What about the Big Apple? Regardless of scary reports that citywide shootings were up 16 percent in July, and that Bronx murders had risen by almost one-third, the long-term picture still looks good. There’s been an increase since last year — but last year was an unusually safe one.
When crime first shot up in 2015 and 2016, I pointed out that there’s a big difference between a crime spike, which may last a few years, and a crime boom, such as the one this country suffered from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. I’m sticking to my story.
